What can I add to this tank?

[swervo513]

Hey all,

I currently have a 180gallon set up with 2 geo altifron, 1 geo abalios, 1 Acarichthys heckelii, 1 silver arowana, and a synodontis multi, albino common pleco.

I want to add a few more fish. I was thinking a red oscar and some blood parrots or a pair of red severum. Do you guys have any opinion as to what I can add that would bring a nice orange/red color.

Thanks
Larry

Just to make sure, not wanting to cause discussion, but if you're moving the silver when it outgrows the tank you could add tapajos geophagus (red or orange head) if you're doing the geos thing, maybe some blue acaras, don't know about temperment issues but an alpha GT would look fine in there.

I really like all of your ideas, however I want to add a red/orange fish to the tank. The oscar is my top choice. My geos also always stay at the botttom and my arowana at the top. I want a fish that will be in the middle, a nice red/orange center-piece.

The Aro will out grow that tank very quickly.

get one of the more red-colored severums

i would go with a small group of Red Jewels,

The arowana will be removed once it out grows the tank and I will probably replace it with a smaller arowana. my problem will be finding a person with a 3 ' wide tank to give it to.. i dont want to return it to the pet store where they will put it in a smaller tank then mine..


as for the fish addition... I am thinkin about adding one geo jurapari, one rotkeil severum, and one albino tiger oscar.

Why not a red oscar?
